The opening ceremony proceeded very well after that incident as Rudra hosted the other two to a banquet on church grounds as he was joined by the other elite elders.
Rudra asked the pope for tips about how to select the Cardinals and how to be a good pope in general and slowly tested Cervantez's tolerance to the growth of this relegion.
Either due to the fear debuff or the fact that Hades spoke out himself , both Cervantez and the pope became very supportive of the cause as they voluntarily suggested ideas to help the church grow.
Cervantez himself did not wish to convert , but he did not mind others doing it as he decided to let every citizen of the empire of Hazelgroove be legally free to join whatever relegion they liked.
The pope became more enthusiastic when he understood Rudra's endgame in creating the church as dethroning Lucifer was a cause that he could get behind wholeheartedly.
